Reproductive System Flashcards
Which of the following is true?
The male gametes are called eggs and contain full set of chromosomes.
The female gametes are called ovaries and contain half of a set of chromosomes.
The male gametes are called sperm and contain half of a set of chromosomes.
The female gametes are called ova and contain full set of chromosomes.
The male gametes are called sperm and contain a half set of chromosomes.
Which of the following structures is correctly paired with its description?
Vas deferens/ transports urine in both male and female and semen in male
Seminal vesicle/ transports sperm from epididymis to urethra
Urethra/ temporarily store the sperm
Prostate gland/ secretion of fluid that contributes to sperm motility and viability
Prostate gland/ secretion of fluid that contributes to sperm motility and viability.
Extra:
The prostate gland secretes fluid that contributes to sperm motility and viability.
The seminal vesicle secretes an alkaline, viscous fluid that contains fructose, prostaglandins, and clotting proteins.
The Vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. The urethra then transports both urine and semen (in males).
Which of the following is not true about reproductive hormones?
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland.
LH (luteinizing hormone) is produced by the posterior pituitary gland.
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) stimulates maturation of sperm and ovum.
LH (luteinizing hormone) stimulates ovulation and production of testosterone.
LH (luteinizing hormone) is produced by the posterior pituitary gland.
Which of the following structures is responsible for the transport of female gametes?
Cervix
Vas deferens
Fallopian tube
Urethra
Fallopian Tube
Which of the following functions in producing sperm?
Vas deferens
Urethra

Ovaries
Vagina
Cervix
Uterus
Ovaries
Which of the following parts of the male reproductive system is not correctly paired with its function?
Scrotum/ pouch of skin that encloses and supports the testes
Epididymis/ secretes mucus that lubricates the urethra
Penis/ passageway for semen and urine
Testes/ production of male gametes
Epididymis/ secretes mucus that lubricates the urethra
Which of the following glands are not found in both males and females?

Which of the following is the process by which gametes divide and produce half the number of chromosomes found in a somatic cell?
Zygote
Meiosis
Fertilization
Gametes
Meiosis
Which of the following organs functions as both the implantation site of a fertilized ovum and the pathway for sperm to reach the uterine tubes?
Uterus
Vagina
Cervix
Fallopian tube
Uterus
Which of the following is not a part of the male reproductive system?
Urethra
Bulbourethral glands
Epididymis
Bladder
Bladder
Which of the following structures is not correctly matched with its function?
Vagina/ copulatory organ of female
Penis/ external sexual organ of male
Cervix/ implantation site of a zygote
Vas deferens/ sperm duct to penis
Cervix/ implantation site of a zygote
Which of the following statements is correct?
Gonads, similar to other organs, produce cells that have the full number of chromosomes.
The female gonads are the uterus and the ovaries.
The male gonads are the testes and the penis.
Gonads produce sperm in males and ova in females.
Gonads produce sperm in males and ova in females.
